Description

Incredible opportunity to Own an almost Brand New Yacht right now, fully equipped to the highest spec with an unmatched inventory and some unmissable custom features. Launched at the end of 2024, The Idler is the most technologically advanced Sunreef 80 Eco on the water. The build was project managed personally by Matt Abbiss, CEO at S6 Marine from the start in conjunction with experienced and passionate owners which has ensured that this is a unique and exceptional yacht, well thought out and completed without compromise. This exceptional opportunity comes with fully electric drive, full solar skin, over 500kW Lithium Battery bank, Hydro Regeneration, Full Suite of 7 North 3Di Sails amongst many many other options and extras. Now fully launched, commissioned, and trialled she comes with the added advantage of being fully snagged ready for her next adventure.

 

This is a rare chance to step straight into ownership of a brand-new Sunreef 80 Eco, without the wait at a considerable discount over the current new build price.

Designed for Comfort. Powered by Innovation.

Being able to sail as much as possible was a key element to the design of The Idler, hence working on a fully custom North 3Di sail wardrobe with Square Top Main, Staysail and Genoa, Code Reacher, Helix Downwind Reacher and G2 Gennaker she can sail at speed when most other Sunreef 80’s are stuck to the water or burning diesel. Of course sailing is not just Clean, Silent running it also allows the Hydro Regen on the Props to recharge the batteries with up to 7kW per prop. But when the wind doesn’t blow and you have to go under power her fully electric propulsion motors let you cruise in near-total silence. There’s no hum, no vibration—just the sound of the sea. It’s a transformative experience.

 

The Solar Skin recharges the house batteries with up to 32kW per hour which means no diesel generator is required to run the systems, aircon, Watermakers etc, this is especially important for guests who value calm mornings, quiet evenings, and immersive time with nature and a clear commitment to sustainability. Every element of her design reflects modern luxury with a lighter footprint, offering all the space, comfort, and innovation you could want in a large catamaran – without compromise.

 

The Idler is equipped with an impressive 32 kW solar skin system, harnessing the sun’s energy to recharge the batteries, all while reducing emissions. Imagine cruising silently across the open sea, knowing that you are reducing your environmental impact. The solar energy allows for extended periods at sea, whether you’re exploring remote coastlines or simply enjoying a peaceful day on the water. The Idler has managed to sail for over 7 days while crossing the Atlantic without needing any intervention from the generator and that was running aircon and all other systems as normal.

“Very impressed with all the “Eco” tech, it is an absolute luxury to have such silence all the time; a huge contrast to our experience aboard our previous boat with the constant background drone and vibration of generators and engines. I was sceptical about how it would actually perform in the real world, but it has exceeded my highest expectations. The autonomy it would give in the more remote parts of the world opens up all sorts of possibilities.” – Current owner.

The Idler’s look and feel was designed by the owners to give the feel of a relaxing private floating beach house. She’s expansive and elegant, with oversized lounging areas, a saloon dedicated entirely to guests, and four double cabins styled like boutique suites and the magnificent balcony hull door in the master cabin putting you just a few steps from bed to sea!
